PodPress Has Buggered My Feed Formatting

by Ben Yoskovitz

Looks like PodPress 7.3 (and 7.2) has buggered my feed formatting so that all HTML/links/images are stripped out. This is very disappointing because I know a lot of you read Instigator Blog via feeds, and it’s hard to when you can’t even see a simple paragraph break.

I’m working to fix the issue. If there’s no quick fix I’ll disable PodPress and temporarily shelve Your Passion Podcast until I find a solution that works.

Sorry again - please stay subscribed via RSS and we’ll get through the bumpiness. Thank you.

Ben. I’m using NetNewsWire on the Mac and I don’t have any problems with your feeds. All have links and all links work. Not sure if this helps at all.

I also have PodPress installed at Healthy WebDesign and have had no known problems with my feed links. No podcasts yet for me, but it’s in the plans and under development.

Dawud - downgrading to 7.2 might have done the trick.

You see proper formatting as well in the feeds? Paragraph breaks, etc.?

What about on old posts?

The source for your feed looks fine now, Ben. Good deal!

Yeah, the formatting and links are both fine in older posts as well. I can send you some screen shots if you want. Just give me a specific date you’d like to see and I’ll take a screenshot and send it to you.

Dawud - looks like going back to PodPress 7.2 did the trick, which is great.

Google Reader takes forever to update so while I was making changes / tweaking things yesterday I couldn’t see if it was working or not.

Looks like we’re in the clear!

Glad to see. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help sooner.

Hi,
Just came upon your site…great info!
I have a quick question hopefully someone can answer…is there a way to have the Podcast Powered by podPress not show at the bottom of a page? I have tried to delete out the text from the podpress.php file…but it just keeps showing back up.

Appreciate any help anyone could offer.

Wayne - Yes I believe there is. I’m using PodPress 7.5 — if you click into PodPress -> General Settings and go to the bottom of the page you’ll see a checkbox option for “show PodPress footer” — uncheck that and you should be good to go.

Let me know if that helps!

Ben - Yes it did…thanks!

Wayne - glad I could help! Best of luck…
